well, tomorrow will be the 20th, and I will finally be moving into my apartment…  20 days of living out of a duffel….  you’d think i’ve joined the army???

This past week has been, on a whole, tiring.  Its been all well and good observing at my new school, but after a day or so it becomes really hard to hide the yawns in class.  By Thurs I was teaching all the adult classes on my schedule, so it hasn’t been so bad.  And its funny how you can see the improvement in yourself really really quickly… 

After finishing training, I was told that my aim should be to learn the steps to the lessons better.  and, well, after 2 days of work it seems I’ve pretty much got it down packed.  Now I think my personal aims are to in general improve my familiairty with what Im teaching, and work on my time management….  and I’m not even going to begin on what I need to do for kids classes…

Everyone I work with is lovely.  But its going to be really difficult replacing Stacee.  She’s been here for 2 years and 3 months, and is really loved and a great teacher…  I just hope my students will bear with me for the next few months til I get a handel on everything.

Last night we had the going away/welcome party at the school and I managed to mingle with some of the students.  It was a good night overall, with us finishing up at karaoke 🙂  oh-boy….  they really shouldn’t give me a microphone…..  and drinkies…..  (shakes head)

Since I’ll be moving into the apartment tomorrow I’ll be cut off from the internet, so no regular updates (not that they were to begin with).  Im hoping to get the net really soon, so it shouldn’t be too long…  I apoligise if im a bit slow replying to anyone, etc.
